[FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

So crazy it could work? Thoughts?

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

I don't think it would work for any event other than IRI. Almost anywhere else, teams would bid all their "money" on the top few teams. IRI is deep enough that teams would have a reason to grab from the middle tier instead of just the top. I'd definitely be up for it.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

No way I'm doing this for any other event. The way I have it set up the draft woul,d take 6 hours. I'm not interested in doing six hour drafts every night in November and December.

I like it

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Do it!

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Do it! :D

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

There was no doubt I was doing it. I just wanted to know what you guys think and if you have any good ideas to steal.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

So the basic premise would be every player gets $100 credit to pick three teams. Max bid allowed is $98 (you have to have at least $1 to submit a bid). When your turn is up you submit the team you want and the opening bid (from $1 to $98). For the next five minutes other members can apply bids for that team. If One member puts up $98 they win the bid (but they will only have $2 to play with for the rest of the draft). When the five minutes are up the highest bid wins the team. Real simple.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

To make the draft exciting, the auction order doesn't have to be disclosed at all.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

hah?

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Now that I think about it, it was kind of irrelevant, sorry.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Yeah. I don't think hiding who is picking really matters. Now who gets to pick first or last doesn't matter! The Randomizer is dead! All Hail the Randomizer!

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

If there were 72 teams @ IRI again this is what the draft would look like:

1..........12pm..........3:55..........4pm
2..........12:05.........3:50..........4:05
3..........12:10.........3:45..........4:10
4..........12:15.........3:40..........4:15
5..........12:20.........3:35..........4:20
6..........12:25.........3:30..........4:25
7..........12:30.........3:25..........4:30
8..........12:35.........3:20..........4:35
9..........12:40.........3:15..........4:40
10.........12:45.........3:10..........4:45
11.........12:50.........3:05..........4:50
12.........12:55..........3pm..........4:55
13.........1pm...........2:55..........5pm
14.........1:05..........2:50..........5:05
15.........1:10..........2:45..........5:10
16.........1:15..........2:40..........5:15
17.........1:20..........2:35..........5:20
18.........1:25..........2:30..........5:25
19.........1:30..........2:25..........5:30
20.........1:35..........2:20..........5:35
21.........1:40..........2:15..........5:40
22.........1:45..........2:10..........5:45
23.........1:50..........2:05..........5:50
24.........1:55..........2pm...........5:55

That draft would be fun.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Doing a couple of Fantasy Football Auction drafts were so much fun I wanted to try it with an off season draft. Six hour draft time is going to keep me from doing that for the regular season. I'll further develope the rules for it.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

By the way, you may be wondering can I I send in a draft list? Yes you can but it has to have your max bid dollar amount next to the team. If not I will apply an automatic $1 cost to your pick and all I can say is I seriously doubt 1114 is going to fall into your lap for a buck. Be mindful of the dollar amount or better yet be active in the draft.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

The only problem I see with this is the 47 sec between posts rule on CD. Any last seconds grabs would be hard if you had already posted 47 seconds of sooner ago.

Otherwise it sounds like fun, I approve!

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

The 47 second post rule kills me during the last rounds of draft. I wish I could get CD to waive it in this thread. I'm not spamming anyone (except for people who don't like Fantasy FIRST)

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Ahem

I think the league worked pretty well, I would definitely do it again if people are interested

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

What do you mean the randomizer is dead? I liked the randomizer. It chose us for first pick a lot.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

And last year, one of the members of Pascack got a lot of first picks. OTOH, a lot of people got a lot of last picks.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

I'd be up for this! IRI bidding also adds an element of risk, unless we know which teams will be having new drivers before hand.

Glory to the Randomizer!

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

I didn't like it.. lol.. It was my first time, and I screwed up..

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

We did it in 2009, it worked great. I picked 1625 :3

I'm in. Last time we used AIM and did it live.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

I'd be up for it, I think it will add more thinking to the draft than "who's the best team left?"

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

I don't normally participate in FF, so forgive me if I'm missing something, but the system where each person has 3 "slots" doesn't really seem to make sense in an auction system, considering anyone can end up with any team... maybe it's just me, though. I also think that in something like FIRST where there are no positions (unlike most sports), it could be interesting if people could bid for as many or as few teams as they wanted to.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Is there any other online site out there where we could all congregate, chat, and post bids in a realtime fashion?

Using CD to post bids and such seems very, very tedious.

Borrow Mike and Justin's set and let Koko run the draft using their setup, lol.
